6 Things You Must Do Before You Die: Geek Edition via Digg

Well, got two down so far. Not sure if I’ll ever go to Japan to check out Akihabara. But I did find a place kinda similar to it in Seoul. Enormous, but kind of repetitive.

Congratulations, you’ve won a Toyoda via Digg

An old newspaper clipping of a woman suing her employer over a misleading contest.

World’s First Flying Car Enters Production via Digg

The civilian version is limited to a height of 10 feet to avoid FAA regulations. The price could be as low as $90k. But really…the sky’s the limit. Alright. I promise, no more puns.

Shark with webbed feet via Digg

Another evolutionary cross-breed has shown up on the Interweb. It looks like it was just a baby shark when it was caught. So it doesn’t look like this critter had a chance to jump out of the water and run down it’s prey. Is it just my imagination or was that movie already made? No matter, Sigler will get to it, probably.

I briefly mention it in the promo, but my family has directly benefited from Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. When my daughter Julie was born (14 years ago this Aug 6), she was early. She had problems breathing and was kept in neonatal care for 10 days. I feel a great debt to the wonderful people who helped her in these first few days. She has become a beautiful, VERY intelligent, young lady. If I can spend a few minutes to do a few kicks to raise a few bucks to help the people who have given me more than I can ever repay, I will.

Kangahippopossumouse…or missing link? via Boing Boing

Other guesses at what this creature really is include “la chupacabra” and pygmy hippo. Someone should take the Kangahippopossumouse domain name and make something with it. It rolls off the tongue so well.

The most amazing game of Tetris that I’ve seen to date.

Chinese food ‘made from cardboard’ via Digg

It turns out that you were, in fact, not imagining things when you said it tasted like cardboard.
